[Q] Editing Text in Browser

---

Using the default browser I've been finding it very hard to edit text fields at times - ie: Google Docs and generic web forms. On one site in particular I needed to remove a comma from a list of emails in a textbox, and it literally took me 10 minutes to position the cursor correctly. Since the box was scrolling off the screen, clicking in different positions kept jumping around and in general not reliably scrolling, let alone selecting a given character.

I've noticed that a number of Android Apps have that little magnifier-thing to simplify editing, but that doesn't seem to work for the default browser. Is there some other way of accurately editing text in the default browser, or do one of the other browsers work better?


In more generic terms, is there a better method of moving the cursor in Android, given that the Atrix lacks any physical trackpad? There do appear to be a few premium keyboard alternatives out there that include cursor keys, but I don't particularly feel like paying for something that should be part of the stock system (particularly on a phone without arrow keys!)

I couldn't agree more. Having the delete key as the only positioning key sucks. Given the four different keyboard screens on the stock virtual keyboard, each having only a delete key, it's clear that this was a decision rather than an oversight. Stupid. Sure makes me appreciate all of the things I took.for.granted in WinMo.
